For me it's not so much the music, as I have this problem in pubs and bars where there isn't music playing - it's the sound of other people's conversations taking place very close to me in a hard-surfaced, echo-y environment. I find it impossible to shut out the sound of other people's voices, and they completely drown out whatever conversation I'm actually supposed to be part of!

Thirsty is pretty great - I just need to remember to go at lunchtime on the weekend instead of on a Friday night!

When I end up with too many vegetables, I just pickle them. I hope these ones make a nice addition to salads!
